Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MuskyZune Zune 💨 (@MuskyZune) reported

    @Lykaios15 Stopped playing overwatch because of terrible and toxic teammates. It’s most likely not you and probably tank or dps that’s causing problems

  • RenaVanderbilt Rena Vanderbilt (@RenaVanderbilt) reported

    I am probably going to have to stream Overwatch today since I'm having trouble with launching SADX. We will see.

  • KayuhJayuh KayJay (@KayuhJayuh) reported

    @BlizzardCS multiple times my friends or others have been kicked from overwatch comp games due to 'server error' and then when they relog, they're unable to rejoin? they don't lose SR but we do as it usually ends in a loss?

  • quentin_rique That Quantum Guy (@quentin_rique) reported

    The Overwatch community helped me when I struggled with my physical issues and ended up falling back down the ladder because I can’t keep up mechanically like I used to.

  • X_Life_Style X Life Style (@X_Life_Style) reported

    @BootseyTV @infrarogue89 Continue is a key word, same like they used the word legacy with Bethesda They won't remove any game that already exist on Playstation, not talking about new games Call Of Duty Warzone Call Of Duty 2022, 2023 Overwatch Diablo 4 Next Crash (already in development) That's it 💀

  • Chatterboxfox_ Monica (@Chatterboxfox_) reported

    Hey @overwatch could you please fix the game so that we don’t get pulled into a game that immediately loses thanks

  • Patrik24693087 Patrik (@Patrik24693087) reported

    @RogueCompany WHO asked for 3v3? ONLY new people.... Problem with competitive Is not a 3v3, 4v4,5v5 or 7v7 but the stupid matchmaking. RoCo Will Have the same fate as Overwatch... Good job.

  • ShawnRomo_ Shawn Romo (@ShawnRomo_) reported

    Overwatch matchmaking is broken

  • qualadore Qualadore (@qualadore) reported

    @Rocky28447 @Zyleth_ @realr0cu I easily get 144-240+ FPS in Overwatch on medium settings. I have no bloat. Pretending the problem doesn't exist doesn't make it a reality. Max isn't doing custom streaming for no reason.

  • luciferdoII donna !! 🖤 ash luv bot (@luciferdoII) reported

    i was about to fly off the handles with a full fledged overwatch rant oops. i have a lot of issues with that franchise, which is a shame bc it had so much potential to be something truly great

  • GraphicJ Graphic-J 💬 (@GraphicJ) reported

    @DooM49 I just want BF to NOT be an awful "Live Service" mixture of Overwatch / R6Siege / COD / Fortnite and their stupid skins. Removing that alone will make BF good again. DICE/EA have forgotten BF's unique ID. They're desperate to copy other games & trends instead of being unique.

  • LevyNeptoon I glued a block of wood to Jonny's foot (@LevyNeptoon) reported

    .....I think I'm gonna heat up my leftover Taco Bell and then play more Overwatch. I don't have a problem again, nuh uh

  • KatsuneUK ❄️ツkinari❄️ (@KatsuneUK) reported

    Overwatch really needs to fix their reward system, because im tired of playing always Tank when i Flex because nobody wants to play that dogshit role. Make DPS trash and tanks OP please.

  • mew2heart ◦•●❤♡ mêw² hêår† ♡❤●•◦ (@mew2heart) reported

    @JohnXuandou It is the same problem with overwatch... But worse.

  • PintQuart someone’s son (@PintQuart) reported

    Overwatch can u not crash on me pls

  • xMikagerii Mikagerii (@xMikagerii) reported

    Was having fun on Overwatch comp with my friends. I got halfway through a game after finishing my support placements and got ddossed.. I placed like around 2095 or something & because of the ddos I dropped to 2025 + a 15min suspension! Why am i being punished for it?!?!

  • DeadGalaxiesGG Lucho (@DeadGalaxiesGG) reported

    @JacobWolf Excellent article, the problem I see with esports is that they are trying to be like regular sports but the real growth is the content. Like I mentioned to #overwatchleague peeps before I don't want pro overwatch on the weekends only I want a pro overwatch channel like espn

  • WildBoyFriend Best Boyfriend (@WildBoyFriend) reported

    so instead of installing overwatch I went to a few ow streams last night. Looks like misery. Hope ow 2 can relieve that. More than likely it will be more misery. Like misery -- but since you made such a long drawn out issue about wanting it and where is it that they have to smile

  • Moz3I Moz3Th3Invincibl3 (@Moz3I) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey Overwatch Team, There is an audio issue on Xbox where sometimes sound cuts off or makes buzzing/crackling noises. Can you fix that in the future patches?

  • Zethran00 Zethran (@Zethran00) reported

    i know nothing about gundam. i will pick whichever one is hanzo and or mcree and go from there until i realize all the base problems overwatch has will not be fixed in this gundam reskin.

  • inYourBackline 🐉 (@inYourBackline) reported

    @LumiiOW normally i like to defend casuals during **** like this but brig single-handedly ruined overwatch and continues to do so **** that hero and everybody who likes, plays, and thinks shes weak she could probably be a pacifist 0 dmg hero and be broken still.

  • turtles1736 Turtle (@turtles1736) reported

    @Its_Megan277 *gets chat banned in overwatch* Random bot account in twitter reply’s: “I had a similar issue and was referred to *obvious scam insta acc* and he got my acc fixed within minutes” Love to see it

  • HegelPlays Hegel (@HegelPlays) reported

    I keep seeing post like "Valorant has a **** community" or "The Overwatch community is toxic," and I hate to break it to everyone, but this is literally a problem for all of esports. It's not just one community; the rampant toxic masculinity and bigotry is pervasive and systemic.

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    @ImGriizz @PBrain1401 @_XboxNews The only way to know for sure is to give them time, and obviously for the deal to come through. But at least for major established titles like COD, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, Overwatch, Diablo, etc this is more about expanding Game Pass than cutting people on certain platforms off.

  • BrothaDom Dom ❤️💜💙 (@BrothaDom) reported

    "Oh, that's just a hard stuck plat opinion" is why people are worried about elo hell in Overwatch. If someone told you they were having trouble with something in game, and you said it's not a problem because they're in plat, they just want THAT to go away.

  • senso_del WabiSabi (@senso_del) reported

    I keep having audio issues when I play #Overwatch on #XboxSeriesX - the audio cuts off and glitches with terrible sounds. Anyone else? @PlayOverwatch @XboxSupport

  • OlizesRBLX Olizes (@OlizesRBLX) reported

    @CursedHyp3r I stopped playing overwatch and fortnite but since I am decent at valorant that's not a huge problem for me. It's usually 1 toxic guy who is saying the entire team is noob so the whole team is against him

  • MF_Ninja TNG🎲 | 🇯🇲👺🔞Black Hanzo👑👺🇨🇦 @training mode (@MF_Ninja) reported

    My issue with Gundam evo so far is too much choke point and the fact Barbatos can legit do whatever he wants by two shotting every suit in the game Barbatos is like a mixture Genji from Overwatch and Tiberius from Paladins

  • MasterMcNoodle EMGG MasterMcNoodle (@MasterMcNoodle) reported

    So I did a small trial stream last night and played a little Overwatch. My internet is being so dumb and my streams are laggy. I'm so sorry if you came to hang out. I'm gunna continue to stream periodically but just know, there will be lag. Please bear with me. Love you guys

  • itsmeChis Chris Kornaros (@itsmeChis) reported

    The single best part of some Overwatch content creators slowly falling out of GM, them learning about smurfs. The copium for years that smurfing wasn’t a problem probably created more.
